Nā te whakatakanga me ngā herenga o te takotoranga i hua mai tenei hoahoanga hei whakautu. E rua ngā mata huarahi o tēnei whare. Ki te taha o te huarahi o Karangahape te tini o ngā herenga ture, nā tēnei ka raru te hoahoa. I tirohia ki te maha o ngā rautaki taipua rereke hei whakautu mo tēnei raruraru, ā ko te whakaputanga mai hei whakahautoru tēnei wharetō. Ko tētahi āhuatanga e hono ana ki te whare Purchas kei te kokonga iti ake hei hurihia hoki. E hono ana tēnei ahuatanga ki te parepare o te tuanui o te whare o Purchas, hei matāpono ki ngā ture hei huanga. Ko te mahi o tēnei āhuatanga hei whakaniko i te whare, engari hei tūmataiti hoki ngā hunga e noho tata ana ki te huarahi. Kei muri o te wharetō he wāhanga ano, anei te nuinga o ngā whare e noho ana. Rerekē te āhua o tēnei o ngā wāhanga na te tawhiti mai te huarahi he nui ake ngā wāhi kirimōhinu. Kei waenganui i ēnei wāhanga te mea tuatoru he ahuatanga tōraro hei whakawehe i ngā taha e rua, ā hei hanga wāhi anō mō ngā kāinga.

The Karangahape Road frontage refers to and aligns with the heritage buildings adjacent and a taller rear block designed to be seen from a greater distance with simpler façade detailing. The screen provides privacy for the apartments closest to the street while also resolving heritage issues of the Karangahape Road Precinct.

Furthermore, the forms have been designed to disguise the Karangahape Rd setback control, maximising floor area while also satisfying the requirements of the District Plan. A split-level ground floor allows for car parking at the rear and high stud retail to the prominent corner.
